New Zealand Classic Car 395, September/October 2024

Jewel on the crown
There is nothing like the USA’s classic cars of the 1950s and here is a stunning example of that glorious era of colourful vehicles with lashings of chrome. Our cover story in this issue is on a Kiwi-restored 1958 Buick Century Caballero Estate Wagon. Rare and unique, this mint wagon will make you green with envy.
Always the innovator in the General Motors line-up, Buick and its Century models featured a shorter, lighter body offering its biggest engine. In 1957 and 1958 Buick produced the striking Century Caballero Estate Wagon. A magnificently restored example of this very rare hardtop wagon survives in New Zealand.”
Also included with this issue 395, is a huge FREE wall poster. Our first poster in a new series features a newly completed, and only one of two in NZ, Mustang-Shelby GT500KR 1000.
